INFORMATION PROCESSING DISORDER

Visual and auditory processing are the processes of recognizing and interpreting information taken in through the senses of sight and sound. Although there are many types of perception, the two most common areas of difficulty involved with a learning disability are visual and auditory perception. Since so much information in the classroom and at home is presented visually and/or verbally, the child with an auditory or visual perceptual disorder can be at a disadvantage in certain situations.

Other terms which refer to the same set of disorders include visual or auditory perceptual disorders, visual or auditory processing deficits, central auditory processing disorders, and other similar combinations of these terms.
